Building text shapes Text3D example code

Build 3D text that says "Hello!", starting with a 2D font and extrusion to build a 3D font

Font my2DFont = new Font(
    "Arial",     // font name
    Font.PLAIN,  // font style
    1 );         // font size
FontExtrusion myExtrude = new FontExtrusion( );
Font3D my3DFont = new Font3D( my2DFont, myExtrude );

Then build 3D text geometry using the font

Text3D myText = new Text3D( );
myText.setFont3D( my3DFont );
myText.setString( "Hello!" );

Assemble the shape

Shape3D myShape = new Shape3D( myText, myAppear );
